I.—FINLAY GUIVNAC.
(Page 44).
Guibhnich, or Duimhnich, were the Campbells. In a song in dispraise of the clan occurs,
“Bheir mi ’n sgrìob so air na Guibhnich
Air son cuimhneachadh o nuadh.
(I will make this line on the Campbell clan,
To remind them anew);
and in another similar song,
“Sgrios a’ chorrain air a’ choinnlein
Air na bheil beò do na Guibhnich.”
(The destruction of the reaping-hook on a grain of corn
On the living race of the Campbell clan).
In Stewart’s Collection, p. 320, is found,
“Dean mo ghearan gu cuimhneach
Ris na Duimhnidh ghlan uasal.”
(Be mindful to lay my complaint
Before the pure-minded noble Campbells).
